Health benefits of pottery

Pottery is one of the most therapeutic crafts out there as it draws on a mix of mental, emotional and kinaesthetic brain functions. Not only can it improve your focus, concentration and give you a sense of creative accomplishment, but it has a meditative element to it. ClassBento potter Leanne Berelowitz shared with us that when she’s working on the pottery wheel all other thoughts drop out of her head and she is drawn into its meditative rhythm.

Hand Building Clay Class: Cups and Bowls

Vanessa, our clay teacher was fantastic, she explained processes very well and demonstrated with clay what we needed to do ( for those visual learners) , the studio was nice with some heather for this cold nights. All materials were supplied, and there were so many tools to achieve the look I wanted. Great night out

It was a great experience and we learnt a lot within the time period, it would be great if the classes were a little longer.

We had the best experience with our teacher. Unfortunately due to COVID our Bento box was a little delayed in arriving to Tasmania. But our teacher was so accommodating in rescheduling until the box arrived. This was a Mother’s Day gift for my Nan. She has the best time creating the hanging planters. With a teacher who was very kind and patient teaching an old girl new tricks. Thanks so much for a fantastic class

Gina was super lovely, patient and friendly! She even did a private class for us, because Tess' box didn't arrive in time. We had a wonderful afternoon learning about air plants, sharing stories and making polymer clay planters. I was also really impressed with how many little extra goodies/decorations Gina popped in the box for us - made it all the more unique and special! Thanks Gina!
